Came to Take Fog arty-The PRISONER
Broth ct EMPLOYS Counse'--Mr. KteGer
Not Yet Out of Danger and His AssAil-
ant Kept in Jail to Aw ait the sitting
4. of the Grand Jury.
Tom Fogarty's arrest was the talk OF
the city yesterday. Nearly every body
believed that the young fugitive yolunta-
rrily gave himself up ana that there was
some understanding about the reward
beforehand. Mr.. Thomas Brown, who
took Fogarty to jail sunday night was
not In a communicative mood. He re-
marked: 81 am the man who caught
Fogartv, but won't say anything more
about it. | don't want any notoriety over
1T, because it may hurt my business, SO l
think the best thing tor me to do is to
keep my mouth shut"
He talked reluctantly, but upon being
pressed sald that the account In yester-
days MORNING News was correct. he
first saw young FOgarty on the railroad
track near ms wood yard. ne added
DID NOT KNOW FoGARTY.
In reply to questions Mr.. Brown stated
that he did not know Tom Fogarty before
Sunday night, ,altbOugh he knew his
brother we'll and his family, though not
Intimately.
There is no electric light in the neigh
borhood Of Anderson street and the rail-
road crossing. and the night was dark.
Mr.. Brown would not give any of the de-
tails OF how ne came totake Fogarly, and
when IL was suggested that the pubic
might draw a wrong inference from his
silence, he said: "Well, let the public
lind out the best way it can" Fogarty
made no resistance, Mr. Brown says, and
wenSalong quietly to the Jail. He took
the prisoner to the jail because it was
nearer, he said.
4 "Will you claim the rewards" he was
yasked.
TO CLAIM THE REWARD.
'Of course l will. | was not going to
take FISK for nothing"
1t was intlmated yesterday that there
may be some objection made to paying
the money, on the ground that there was
collusio on. That Brown denies.
Fogarty refused to see any one except
his family. Mir. Richard Fogarty, the
young mans father. has retained j. j.
Abrams, Esq, to defend him. but the
counsel did not visit the jail during the
day. FOgarty declined to talk to news
paper men on any subject.
KEEPER NOT OUT OF DANGER.
DR.. Myers, who is Mr.. f. j. kieffer's
physician, refused TO give Mr. Abrams a
certificate 10 the effect that his patient is
nut OF all possible danger, and until that
can be obtained Fogarty will be left in
jail. The Superior Court grand jury will
meet on April 6, and the case will
probably be brought before that BODY
then. The warrant issued by Magistrate
Warning Russell, charging FOgarty with
assault with intend to murder, was turned
over to the clerk of the Superior Court
yesterday morning, and bond now will
have to be fixed by that official.
IN THE HANDS OF THE STATE.
There has been considerable talk about
the matter being settled between the par
ties in case Mr.. Kieffer RECEIVERS. That,
however, cannot be done il the Solicitor
General or Judge Adams objects.
The penalty for assault with intent to
murder, which is the charge made against
Fogarty in the warrants issued for his
arrest, is not less than for two years nor
more than ten years imprisonment.
